DMV taking votes on new plate

But her latest design could grace the bumpers of all S.C. drivers' cars if residents vote for her creation to replace the "Smiling Faces, Beautiful Places" palmetto tree license plate.

Nelson's is one of three designs South Carolinians can choose from until July 27 at the Department of Motor Vehicles Web site. The other two designs are by Tom Crosby of Darlington and Matthew Kamann of Mount Pleasant. Got to the site at www.scdmv online.com/DMVNew/default.aspx and click on the link to vote.

Nelson's design features the state flag in the upper left corner.
